Low speed clicking in rear

[Ray]

I have a new 06 AE. At low speeds (5 mph) am deteting a clicking sound coming from the rear wheel area. Is this normal? If not any ideas? Have about 900 miles on it now. Did a search and could not find anyone else mentioning it.

You might want to check for a rock in the tread of your rear tire. Its happened to me.

Check the acorn nuts on the pumpkin housing.

A small rock could get into the opening in te cast spokes...? Do you have children?

Put it on the centerstand and spin the wheel. Can you reproduce the click or does it need a load on the axle to make the sound. Also, with the engine off and spinning by hand, if you can hear the click, it will be must easier to locate the origin.

Thanks for the comments. I don't think it is doing it when unloaded, but I am going to check again. Had baseball cards on the spokes for the first 700 miles, but since they blew off is when I noticed the noise . since no on else experiences it, I will look closer to something like the abs sensor hitting when loaded.
